Hi,
Using the 2 day simple moving average of the 10 day exp moving average of TSV and the 5 day exp moving average of the 2 day simple moving average above, I want to find stocks that show the 2 dsma crossing above the 5 dema.
Can you show me the PCF for that?
TIA.

To be clear:
You have a TSV with a period of 1
You have a 10-bar exp average of this TSV
You have a 2-bar simple of the above average
You have a 5-bar exponential of the above average
You have a 2-bar simple of the above average
You want the SECOND 2sma crossing above the 5xma that it is an average of.
If the above is true... I plotted this monster and ended up with the final 5 and 2 being almost identical. This is no suprise as you are applying small averages to other averges over and over again until it is diluted to almost identical smoothed lines.
Can you give me an idea why you have this setup and what you are hoping to uncover with it?
In theory we can make a PCF for this but it is a monster and I don't want to make something you may not really need.
Help me understand this.

Craig,
You interpret the order of application of the MA's to TSV1 as:
1) EMA10
2) SMA2
3) EMA5
4) SMA2
I interpret the order of application of the MA's to TSV1 as:
1) EMA10
2) SMA2
3) EMA5
If either of us is correct, a PCF for the crossing is quite easy. Yours because the last SMA is only of period 2, and mine because no series expansion of an MA is needed.
Thanks,
Jim Murphy

I think you might be right.
I read the last part of his sentance as there being another 2ma of the 5ma.
I will wait for pwalk to confirm this for me.

Bustermu is correct, I am looking for a PCF of:
a TSV with a period of 1
a 10-bar exp average of this TSV
a 2-bar simple of the above average
a 5-bar exponential of the above average
Also, I finally realized after sending my question, it would have been smart to review the topics already posted. As a long time user of TC, I know enough to be dangerous, and can probably figure out how to do it with a little more time and effort.
HOWEVER, since I have already bugged you guys, if you would, please show me the PCF.
Thanks very much!
And by the way, let me say, as a former stockbroker of 12 years, and a big self taught follower of technical analysis, without TC, I would not have the success I do in the market.

Try this:
XAVG(TSV2,10) > 9 / 5 * XAVG(TSV2,10) - 4 / 5 * XAVG(TSV2,5) AND XAVG(TSV2.1,10) <= 9 / 5 * XAVG(TSV2.1,10) - 4 / 5 * XAVG(TSV2.1,5)

Bruce,
Is that equality a typo?
We both know we will likely never find a case where equality holds, but if we use the same form for H upcrossing C:
(H>C)AND(H1<=C1)
we will find quite a few upcrossings.
Thanks,
Jim Murphy

No, it's not a typo. I usually use that form because I would rather return false positives for cases when:
X > Y AND X1 = Y1 AND X2 >= Y2
Than false negatives when:
X > Y AND X1 = Y1 AND X2 < Y2
It's possible to visually filter out the false positives, but the false negatives are never seen. I can see how somebody else might prefer the opposite however.
